A Suicide.

. Many of our citizens will remember
an old man who for several days past
has been wandering about town walking
with limp, one leg apparently being
shorter than the other, and assisting
himself with a cane. He arrived here
on the 10th instant, registered at the
Depot Hotel as ~. G.. Irwin, Aurora"
and stayed there one night, since which
time it is not known where no has
stayed. This afternoon between / and
2 O'Clock he walked down the railroud
track few rods below the Depot Hotel
to where there Is pile of railroad iron
upon which he sat down, placed q re-.
Solver to his head just above the right
ear, sent bullet into, his brain, fell
back aud expired apparently without
struggle, the pistol falling at his fee.
Coroner Morgan being informed of
the tragedy Immediately repaired to the
spot, summoned u jury which, after due
inquiry, returned verdict that deceased
Was named Jno. G.. Irwin, Of Aurora,
Nevada, that his ags was about 60 years
and that he came to his death from .
pistol shot fred by his own hand. On
his person was found small nlemorun-
dunn on one page Of which was the fol.
lowing: ''Please write to John g..
Booker, Aurora, Nevada. John G. Ir-
win, Of Aurora, New, Is my name" On
the next page WAS the following:
"Reason why I do this Is I am dead
broke and got no friends. 1t is my own
fault. will not ask for help. John G..
Irwin, Aurors, New.
The old man was comfortably clad and
bore no appearance Of being q tramp.
The remains were carried to the shop Of
the undertaken where they will be pro-
vided with decent coffin and to-inor-
row they will be conveyed to the ceme-
tory and inferred at the expense Of the
county.
It is sad to think that one who has
struggled through life until he has
grown old and gray should 6nd himself
a stranger in q strange land and so en-
tirely destitute Of means or friends that
he should determine to end miserable
life by suicide. Peace to his ashes.
